The clerk is very attentive in helping customers choose clothes and allows customers to keep bags. Although today is Sunday and there are many customers, the clerk still responds patiently to customers' requests.

The environment is quiet and comfortable, the staff are very polite, and their service is also very good. There is a shower service after the massage, as well as snacks and ginger tea.

We had a blast! The place itself is wonderful with all the greeneries; being there is refreshing for a starter. It was our first time to attend a cooking class and we found this experience something to share and refer to our friends at home.

The environment is very beautiful, the masseurs are professional, and the mango sticky rice is delicious. This is the most satisfying massage parlor in Chiang Mai this time. I will come back next time~
